Urban Meyer continued his reputation as one of the best "commitment flippers" in the game with the recruitment of Taylor. The Columbus product committed to Virginia Tech early in the process but had always dreamt of being of Buckeye. Opportunity opened up at Ohio State when the offensive line recruiting board opened up a little and Virginia Tech lost its offensive line coach. The Buckeyes secured an official visit and shortly after that Taylor was able to realize his dream as a member of the Ohio State recruiting class.

Scouting Report: "When we saw Brady at the Army combine his junior year, he immediately jumps out at you. He's a great looking physical specimen and I like what I saw on film of him. He engages defenders and he maintains his blocks and he's light on his feet. I'm really impressed with the development of his game over the last year." - Midwest analyst Josh Helmholdt
